Finally got all the Wheel Vintiques Wheels painted along with the hubcaps refinished.

Now this week its off the the detail company to buff out the faded paint job.

**Factory Guy** · 10-31-2019, 09:56 PM

Got the Truck back from the Detail and polishing people Now its starting to shine!

**TKCR** · 10-31-2019, 10:28 PM

Looks sharp!

**Factory Guy** · 03-25-2020, 11:01 PM

My latest project adding a 8000 rpm tach to my FACTORY gauge cluster.

Here is the first mock up on my project.

**Factory Guy** · 04-09-2020, 10:24 AM

The "new" grill I just installed, after I did a complete rebuild and restoration on it.

I think the 75-76 grill is one of the best looking grills GM made and of course NOBODY re pops them.

Grill came out of a salvage yard and had the typical break near the hood handle (release). It looked really bad but I got it for a decent price. Chrome stripes will be added soon. I scored a really nice set of chrome stripes, off of partsvoice.com for less than 1/2 what they are going for on ebay.

Here's what I started with on the grill. Fifthly dirty, wasps nests all over on it.

Here is the video of the redo of the new GMC grill, my friend uploaded on his channel.

Truck looks great

**ShortHaul** · 11-02-2019, 02:33 AM

Such a beauty!

LT7A · 11-02-2019, 08:58 AM

Good choice on the wheels. Good work on the hubcaps. The truck looks great. It's cool that it shines up so well.

Shifty One · 11-04-2019, 10:31 AM

I love this truck....

**Factory Guy** · 11-05-2019, 06:17 PM

Thanks everybody for the compliments!

My late father would appreciate them since he was more about the “Factory Look” than anything custom.

mingoman · 11-05-2019, 08:46 PM

Awesome truck FG!

**Factory Guy** · 03-11-2020, 10:00 PM
